What happened to Whisper

[redhead]

My husband just finished "Two Against Cape Horn" by the Roths and we were wondering what happened to their boat Whisper. Upon researching the question online all I can find is "...upon moving to Maine they sold Whisper and bought...."

Does anyone know if the boat is still out there? Thanks.

Hell there are Whispers all over. I'm looking at one in Hope Town Bahamas right now.

But is it THE Whisper?

I vaguely recall reading somewhere that it was sold a few years later for around $20,000.

I nearly bought a Whisper back in 2000.. that was a Cheoy Lee 36.

I believe the Roth's was a Spencer 35 or 36. Probably gone by now.

Yes it was a Spencer. Seems I heard it was in California, but not sure. I was surprised that they sold Whisper in the '78+ time frame and moved to Maine. Seems like so long ago, the Roth adventures are so fresh in my mind at times it feels much later than that to me. Both are passed on now.

Did a little online research and could find nothing on the original Whisper, a Spencer 35. I did find what seems to be the second Whisper a Pretorian 35.

Redhead I have a zip file of the old Spencer owners web page shoot me a pm with hour email and I will forward a copy it may help your search. Its for windows and I just have android running these days but there is a picture of the whisper you are looking for in the files.

Thanks everyone - please don't go to any trouble. Being a history geek these questions always occur to me but they are random....

Just another way to pass an unexpected snow storm at 49N....
